Sola, a modern payments platform built to support software providers and value-added resellers (VARs), today announced a strategic partnership with Retail Management Hero (RMH), a trusted provider of retail technology. The partnership supports RMH’s VAR ecosystem with scalable, retail-ready payments infrastructure for complex environments.
Through this collaboration, RMH VARs gain access to Sola’s flexible payments platform, supporting traditional processing models and PayFac-as-a-Service options. This allows VARs to align payments to their business model while reducing operational complexity, maintaining control over the experience, and unlocking new revenue opportunities. The partnership supports single-location retailers to complex, multi-site environments without sacrificing reliability, transparency, or scale.
“At Sola, we’re focused on building a payments platform that supports partners operating in complex retail environments with the scale, reliability, and flexibility they need to grow,” said Michael Reed, CEO of Sola. “Partnering with RMH allows us to extend that approach to a VAR ecosystem that values execution and dependable technology.”
By aligning RMH’s retail expertise with Sola’s payments capabilities, the partnership helps VARs simplify operations while delivering consistent, high-quality experiences.
“Over the years Sola has proven its value to our customers as a cost-effective, reliable, and trustworthy payments provider, said Jeff Riley, CEO of RMH. “Based on this track record, we endorse Sola as a Preferred Payments Partner for our software products.”
This partnership reinforces both companies’ commitment to supporting VARs with dependable technology, strong enablement, and infrastructure that evolves with the retail landscape.
